Virtual (VM) System Requirements

InterMapper Platforms/Operating Systems

The Following table lists and describes the recommended hardware and software resources for virtual environments using your virtualization provide

1. There are three variables that will need to remain static:

Hostname

IP address

MAC address

Note: The variables can be set when creating a new virtual machine

2. A change in hardware attributes (CPU, storage, or memory) within the same system will not affect the way InterMapper operates – either the InterMapper server or InterMapper RemoteAccess™. A move to a new system hardware will require a new license key.

3. A change in the Network Interface Card (NIC) will require a new license key because the MAC address is unique and tied to a network interface (physical, virtual, or wireless).

InterMapper Flows requires a fairly powerful computer; both processor power and the amount of RAM are important considerations. The minimum recommended specifications will support up to 10 million flows per hour.

InterMapper Flows benefits from having a large amount of RAM for its database cache. Use a 64-bit Windows, Macintosh, Linux, or UNIX system if you wish to allocate more than 1.5 GBytes of RAM for the cache.

This table indicates the recommended system requirements for various flow rates:

Java 1.7 is required and is included with RemoteAccess and InterMapper on Windows and Mac OS X. In general, any computer capable of running Mac OS X 10.7 or a 1 GHz Pentium or faster Windows 7/2003/2008 or UNIX computer with 512 MBytes of RAM will support InterMapper RemoteAccess.

Physical System Requirements

The following lists and describes the hardware and software options recommended for operating InterMapper software products in client environments with dedicated physical hardware.

InterMapper is the only network monitoring software that runs on all major platforms. We support all current versions of these platforms:

Two (2) or more of the latest generation Intel or AMD processors with at least four (4) processor cores each. Recommend processing speed us 2.5Ghz or higher

Memory (RAM)

8 GB allocated exclusively to the InterMapper Flows for Mac and Linux

16 GB allocated exclusively to the InterMapper Flows for Windows

Disk Configuration

OS Drive Array – 100 GB 10k SAS

Data Array – 350 GB 10k SAS

Note:

This recommendation will support up to ~10 Million Flows per hour. If flow traffic increases beyond this point, additional resources will need to be allocated.
